In that case you might as well let Google win the war when it comes to
maps with data on them. Like I said before with such a large userbase

Common sense and intellectual property rarely go together. The post

If we get lists of places we are looking for then we can find them on
the map and fill the gaps. It also helps us to see what we are still
missing from the maps. The list below is only a quick list.
Amenities to get data for,
Airports
Ambulance Stations
Banks
Bus Stations
Bus Stops (is there post
You might want to check the archive on talk-transit and
talk-gb-westmidlands. Plenty of discussion about the NaPTAN data import of
Bus Stops and the ongoing routing work going on in the midlands as a trial
run for further NaPTAN imports of bus stops across the country.
The only reliable way to do
LDHS = long distance high speed (aka InterCity)
L&SE = london & south east (aka Network SouthEast)
FGW = First Great Western
NXEA = National Express East Anglia
S-bahn are stopping services
RE are Regional Express (about the equivalent of London-Northampton). Long
distance services aren't showing
Route Codes were used on the Southern, and provision was also made for them
to appear on the front of Turbos and Networkers, though it wasn't much used
(and very little north of the Thames). Each route code in theory tells you
the stopping pattern. None of the current operators is very keen on usin

Peter - I'm confused also about franchise operators and network rail as to

routes is with the Franchis

I want to add some bus routes around where I used to live to the map. What
is an acceptable source to supplement my memory? Can I use an online
timetable, like these ones, to work out the route? I know the area quite
well so I just need the list of stops to derive the route.

Forgive me for asking.
How does the "Route Code" relate to the number on the front of the Train. eg
Charing Cross to Gillingham via Lewisham has a 62 on the front but if
it goes via Greenwich its 85 (I think)
Does the number on the front of the time-table mean anything?
Oh and the Routes listed
Can fix this?

I checked the way quite a bit. It shares most of its nodes with a
section of a beach area, but that shouldn't be an issue. None of the
nodes are included in the way
Looks like the routes that show up on oepnv-karte in Germany are the
services (aka lines, eg S-bahn and RE). Which is more likely to be useful
than the Strategic Route codes (let alone SRSs), surely???
We don't have service codes (well we do actually, but not anything that
would mean anything to t

Not sure if this is the
problem, but part of the boundary relation does not follow a
boundary=administrative way, it follows a road. This is just west of
Vernham Dean [1].
The boundary also follows the river Enbourne again without a way tagged
boundary=administrative [2].

There is loads of work going on around the country on the boundaries
project which is great to see. Here are a list of all the main
administrative boundaries (for England and Wales) and the status of
those boundaries. Scotland is a blank canvas if anyone feels motivated
to do the work:

As I have mentioned before I am interested in improving the data on
Amenities such as Pubs, Fast Food places. Most of this data can be
found openly on the companies own website so I doubt they will have
issues with us including the data as they want to be found on the
maps. This also works for pubs
